T7.—The Investiga- tion of the death of Willlam Nelson McClintock, “millfonaire orphan,” today was extended into an inquiry into the death of Dr. Oscar Olson, his physician, three years ago, as a result of testimony by Harry Olson, chief justice of the municipal court at the coroner's inquest yesterday. Judge Olson, who instigated the investigation of McClintock's death, demanded the exhumation and ex- amination of the body of Dr. Olson, his brother, who was visited, he said, a short time hefore his death by William ‘D. Shepherd, fostet father of McClintock and principal heir to 481,600,000 fortune. In his new story to the coroner’s jury, Judge Olson declared that the death of his brother occurred under circumstances demanding scientific inquiry; that the death in 1909 of Mrs. McClintock, mother of the “millionaire orphan,” occurred in such a manner as to cause him to refuse to be a pall bearer at her funeral, and that the state’s attorney had not followed the case of McClin- tock's death as scrupulously as war- ‘ranted. The inquest, which wds expected to close yesterday, was continued at Judge Olson’s request until January 20, when it was announced, any wit- ness that any one wished to sub- poena would be heard. Mr. Stepherd, who was resting in Albuquerque,” N. M., when the in- | quiry was begun and who returned there after coroner’'s chemists re- ported their autopsy findings, indi- cated McClintock died of typhoid fever, issued a statement there last night in which he cajled Judge Olson's story “buncombe.” Robert H. Stoll, his law partner here, said Shepherd would return to Chicago |to institute legal proceedings against | Judge Olson, who was attempting, he said, “to a sinate the char- acter of a man against whom he has | iad a grudge for twenty years.” SHOES HARMONIOUS, SIMPLE, COLORED Fashion Fditor Says They Will Be Designed to Go With (;g;lume As a Whole, | St Louis, Jan. 7.—Women's shoes | this season are designed for harmony | with the costume ensemble milady’ s Lucy shion magazine, Park, editor of told 0 visiting shoe dealers, 'Iu»rf‘; Louis Shoe Manufacturers annual show.
